Subject: *Keiko served the pie...*
In reply to: Dr. Morpheus 's message, "*Dr. Morpheus looked up from his paperwork...*" on 15:28:22 03/09/03 Sun

"You're very kind, sensei," Keiko said; "it's nice to meet somebody who doesn't view me as some kind of freak because of my problem."

Indeed, Keiko had a feeling Dr. Morpheus would be understanding about her teleportation, and she couldn't help but admire him for his open-mindedness. Keiko hadn't expected to find such a person on the Earth--which was said to be a planet wracked by violence and prejudice--but Dr. Morpheus was as kind and thoughtful as anyone Keiko had ever met anywhere in the cosmos. In fact, as Keiko sat in the doctor's cozy den--gazing at the doctor as a wife might gaze lovingly at her husband--she had to wonder if Dr. Morpheus might perhaps be the man she had been searching for all her life; as they spoke, Keiko found herself sliding closer and closer to the edge of her seat--closer and closer to Dr. Morpheus...

Then the oven timer went off.

*BZZZZZZZZ--!!!*

"Oh, the pie must be done," Keiko said, snapping herself out of her reverie and standing up to dash into the kitchen. There--after turning off the buzzer and removing the pie from the oven--she first allowed the pie to cool on a rack for a few minutes (during which time she washed the dishes she'd dirtied earlier), then cut two pieces which she placed on pie plates to carry back to the den. Just to make sure the pie was edible, Keiko sampled a bite of the smaller piece first...

Mmmm... Keiko thought, savoring the bite; tender, flaky crust; rich smooth texture--that's pretty good...

Still, I must not let the doctor think I have a huge ego. I must be humble; I must not let the doctor know how much I want to be with him, cook for him, take care of him...

"Would you like some pie?" Keiko asked rhetorically, carrying both plates into the den and setting the much larger piece of pie in front of Dr. Morpheus. "It would probably be better with some ice cream, but I didn't realize I'd be cooking for you when I came over; otherwise, I would have brought some from my freezer..."

Again Keiko blushed as she returned to the chair near the doctor's desk.

"Not that I'm planning on doing this routinely," she added; "I mean, you might not even like my cooking..."
